The power cords appear to extend out of the alarm clock and lamp posters, and into real life. They may not be the most beautiful masterpieces, but they're sure to brighten your living space.
Implications - The Flat Light sells itself with the slogan "the productive atmosphere of a desk light without the bulk." The other product called the Flat Time will show you the actual time by using a "7-segment LED display." It is amazing how they work, since they look completely flat!
